Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7 , the function of each component formed in the space between the rear of the dry room 200 and the rear of the main body 100 is that the blower 300 sucks in external air and connects the guide bracket 400. Air is supplied to the control unit 130, and as the guide bracket 400 is raised and lowered by a signal from the control unit 130, air can be supplied to the air curtain hole 220 or air can be supplied to the dry hole 210, and the control unit 130 ) may be configured to include a linear motor 500 that raises and lowers the guide bracket 400 according to a signal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dry hole 210 through which dry air comes out is formed three-dimensionally, and the wind is directed in different directions so that the wind blows evenly in the internal dry room 200 to dry the entire surface of the pet. It can be expressed.

The present invention is configured to combine a blower 300, a guide bracket 400, and a linear motor 500, as shown in FIG. 8. More specifically, it is coupled to receive air from the blower 300 through the open structure at the bottom of the guide bracket 400, and is attached to the rear side of the bracket so that the guide bracket 400 can be raised and lowered. The linear motor 500 may be formed in this shape.

As shown in FIG. 8, the guide bracket 400 may be partially opened on both sides to form an open hole 410. The open hole 410 serves as a passage for supplying air to the dry hole 210 or the air curtain hole 220.

In addition, the upper plate of the guide bracket 400 may be bent as shown in FIG. 8 to have a V-shaped cross section. This configuration allows air to flow through the open holes 410 formed on both sides of the upper part of the guide bracket 400. It plays a role in inducing. In other words, this V-shaped top plate structure minimizes vortices that may be generated by hitting the top plate and naturally guides the flow of air into the open holes 410 formed on both sides of the upper side of the guide bracket 400, thereby improving air supply efficiency. can be improved.

Referring to FIG. 5 , a guide frame 450 may be provided to support the guide bracket 400 in a way that allows the guide bracket 400 to move up and down while restricting left and right movement.

The guide frame 450 may be divided into an upper frame 451, a middle frame 452, and a lower frame 453.

First, the central frame 452 is configured to support the guide bracket 400 in a way that allows the guide bracket 400 to move up and down while restricting left and right movement. Accordingly, the central frame 452 may have a shape in which two plates having a predetermined upward length are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, as shown in FIG. 5 .

According to this configuration, the guide bracket 400 is fitted into the central frame 452, and the guide bracket 400 moves up and down along the central frame 452.

At this time, the second discharge portion 150 may be formed on the upper portion of each plate of the central frame 452.

The upper frame 451 is coupled to the top of the middle frame 452, and may have a shape extending from the top of the middle frame 452, as shown in FIG. 5.

This upper frame 451 is a dry passage 110, which is a connecting passage with the dry hole 210 formed by perforating the side and lower side of the dry room 200, and an air passage, which is a connecting passage between the air curtain hole 220. It serves to distinguish (120).

To explain more simply, the upper frame 451 serves as a component that partitions the dry passage 110 and the air passage 120.

Therefore, the air passage 120 and the open hole 410 can communicate only when the guide bracket 400 rises and the open hole 410 is located above the upper frame 451.

A discharge hole may be formed in the upper part of the central frame 452 for communication between the air passage 120 and the open hole 410, which may be the second discharge portion 150 described below. That is, when the discharge hole such as the second discharge part 150 and the open hole 410 of the guide bracket 400 are placed in the same (or similar) position, the open hole 410 of the bracket 400 is connected to the air passage 120. ), and ultimately air can be supplied through the dry hole 210 formed by perforating the side and bottom of the dry room 200.

For this operation, the upper frame 451 may extend from the top of the middle frame 452 and be coupled to the upper end of the space between the rear of the dry room 200 and the rear of the main body 100.

The lower frame 453 is coupled to the lower end of the central frame 452 and may have a shape extending from the lower end of the central frame 452 as shown in FIG. 5 .

This lower frame 453 serves to support the central frame 452 and divides the space between the rear of the dry room 200 and the rear of the main body 100 to provide a space where the blower 300 can be installed. It can be secured.

In addition, the lower frame 453 prevents the air supplied through the blower 300 from leaking elsewhere, and all air can be concentrated toward the central frame 452. A guide bracket 400 is inserted into the central frame 452, and since the lower end of the guide bracket 400 is open, all air supplied through the blower 300 is supplied through the guide bracket 400. The present invention can further improve air supply efficiency through this configuration.

In the pet care robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a manipulation signal is input by the control unit 130, the linear motor 500 may determine whether to raise or lower the guide bracket 400 according to the manipulation signal. .

Referring to FIG. 9, it can be seen that when the guide bracket 400 is located at the top, air is discharged into the dry passage 110 through the first discharge part 140.

In more detail, in the present invention, the first discharge unit 140 may be a space partitioned by the upper frame 451 of the guide frame 450. When the guide bracket 400 is located at the top, the open hole 410 rises above the upper frame 451, so the open hole 410 communicates with the air passage 120 to allow air to flow through the air curtain hole 220. will be supplied.

Referring to FIG. 10, when the guide bracket 400 is located at the bottom, the second discharge unit 150 discharges air to the dry hole 210 through the dry passage 110 through the open hole 410. You can check what is displayed. At this time, the second discharge unit 150 may be implemented in the form of a discharge hole formed in the upper part of the central frame 452 described above.

For example, when the second discharge unit 150 and the open hole 410 of the guide bracket 400 are placed in the same (or similar) position, the open hole 410 of the bracket 400 communicates with the dry passage 110. And finally, air can be supplied through the dry hole 210 formed by perforating the side and lower side of the dry room 200.

In the pet management robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, when an air curtain manipulation signal is input by the control unit 130, the guide bracket 400 moves to the top by the linear motor 500, and the guide bracket 400 Air is supplied to the air curtain hole 220 through the air passage 120 through the open hole 410 and the first discharge part 140, and the air curtain can operate accordingly.

Additionally, a sterilizing unit (not shown) may be installed inside the dry room 200 to sterilize bacteria in the interior space of the dry room 200. When the air curtain operation signal is input to the control unit 130, the internal dry room 200 can be sterilized by irradiating UV-C wavelengths from the sterilizing unit (not shown). Any LED that functions to emit UV-C wavelengths can be used, and is not limited to a specific LED based on its shape.

UV-C wavelength has a sufficient sterilizing effect even when applied less than UV-A wavelength, and UV-B wavelength can burn the skin and cause skin cancer, so by selecting the wavelength of UV-C, dry room (200 ) The interior can be effectively sterilized.

The present invention may be placed in the interior space of the dry room 200 and equipped with a detection sensor 230 to check the presence or absence of a pet.

The detection sensor 230 can detect the presence or absence of a pet at any time by installing a plurality of detection sensors 230 with different detection angles, no matter what posture the pet is in in the dry room 200. The angle can be changed, and there is no limitation to any one specific sensor as long as it can perform the above functions.

Looking at the form of drying a pet according to the present invention, first, the blower 300 sucks air from the outside due to the operation of the control unit 130 and supplies air to the guide bracket 400, and then the linear motor ( The guide bracket 400 moves to the top by 500 and discharges air to the first discharge unit 140 through the open hole 410.

Afterwards, the air that enters through the air passage 120 is blocked from external air inflow and contamination through the air curtain hole 220, and is internally sterilized through a sterilization unit (not shown), thereby discharging the pet care robot before use. Contamination conditions can be sterilized.

That is, in the present invention, the air discharged through the air curtain hole 220 performs an air curtain function to block air from entering from the outside.

In addition, before drying the pet, after sterilization through the operation of the air curtain is completed, the presence or absence of the pet inside the dry room 200 is checked through the detection sensor 230, and then the pet is allowed to enter the dry room 200. When it is determined that it is present inside, the blower 300 can suck air from the outside and supply it to the guide bracket 400.

At this time, the guide bracket moves downward by the linear motor 500, and air is discharged to the second discharge unit 150 through the open hole 410. Afterwards, the air supplied through the dry passage 110 supplies dry air to the inside of the dry room 200 through the dry hole 210, and drying of the pet inside can begin.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the guide bracket 400 reaches the middle point between the top and bottom by a control signal from the controller 130, the air supplied from the blower flows through the open hole 410. It is possible to supply to the first discharge part 140 and the second discharge part 150 at the same time. At this time, the fact that an interruption has occurred means that the air supplied from the blower 300 can be supplied to the first discharge part 140 and the second discharge part 150, respectively.

Accordingly, the air supplied to the air curtain hole 220 functions as an air curtain, and the air supplied to the dry air hole 210 supplies dry air to dry the pet.

The present invention forms a bond with the pet even during drying through a structure without a door, thereby relieving the pet's fear and anxiety that may occur in an enclosed space, suppressing sudden movements or dangerous behavior due to stress, thereby improving the drying process. Performance can be improved.

It may be formed on the rear side of the dry room 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention and may include a filter 240 that suctions foreign substances and pet hair.

Grades are divided according to the collection ability of % or more.

Although there is a HEPA filter of grade 14, which is the highest grade, the actual efficiency varies depending on the frame surrounding the filter, the minute gap between parts entering the product, or the gap between product cases, etc., so the present invention is a grade 13 HEPA filter. Use a HEPA filter to function as a secondary filter.

In another embodiment, during drying of the pet care robot, when the filter 240 suctions dry air, the suction power of the blower 300 is used to filter it.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the main body 100 may be provided with an external filter (not shown). Air containing hair and other foreign substances (including fine dust) generated during drying can be filtered out through the filter 240, and 70% of the air with hair and other foreign substances filtered out is recirculated and used again for drying. You can.

In addition, the remaining 30% that is not recirculated is discharged through an external filter (not shown), and new air equivalent to the discharged air can be introduced into the dry room 200 through the blower 300.

Referring to Figure 2, an external discharge hole 102 may be formed at the rear of the main body 100, and the remaining 30% of the air discharged without being recirculated through the external filter is finally discharged through the external discharge hole 102. It can be.

In the present invention, even if the air curtain is not separately operated according to the above operation, the internal dry air is sucked through the filter, so the internal dry air does not go out, thereby maintaining the temperature and blocking it from the outside.

In addition, another embodiment of the present invention is a stand ( (not shown) may be provided. Accordingly, the pet's owner (user) can easily clean up moisture and other foreign substances that have fallen through the dry hole 210 as the filter 240 is released after drying is completed.
